Overview

The Builder Training Centre (The BTC) offers a high quality structured Combined 2391-52 Course. This can be attended as a 5 day (Monday to Friday) weekday course or over 2 consecutive weekends (1 being an extended weekend).

Our instructors are qualified, highly experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic Tradespersons, so students can take full advantage of all the tips of the trade, personal experiences and practical advice they offer. This short course is intensive, but no compromise is made on the course content. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable which creates a good learning environment.

The City & Guilds Combined Level 3 Award in Inspection and Testing 2391-52 Course is designed for anyone who is required to conduct both Initial and Periodic Inspection and Testing of electrical Installations. You will need to have previous experience and fundamental knowledge of inspecting and testing of single and ideally 3 phase electrical installations. You will also need to have obtained previous electrical qualifications, able to work with minimal supervision, work safely, able to identify faults and ensure all your work meets the required standards. This course will enable you to update your knowledge of techniques and legislation and gain the relevant qualification to reflect your abilities.

The combined 2391-52 qualification was introduced to replace the City & Guilds 2394 and 2395 qualifications. This qualification is the equivalent of the combined EAL 2625 qualification.
